The Economy's Other Half (The Gendered Economy)

James Heintz
4.9/5 (12164 ratings)
Description:Choices made in macroeconomic policies – such as government spending, taxation, monetary policy and financial regulation – have distinct distributive consequences for women and men. They also shape the constraints within which efforts to advance gender equality must operate. The implications of gender dynamics for macroeconomics extends beyond consideration of distributive outcomes. The unpaid and non-market work that women perform – running a household, bringing up children – is unrecognized and uncounted in macroeconomic variables used to formulate policy. Yet the economic consequences of these unpaid activities are contributing to the well-being of society, affecting productive activities in the market economy and creating the foundation for the long-run sustainability of our economies.It has long been assumed that economic growth and women’s growing participation in the paid workforce would eventually take care of gender inequalities, and yet there is little evidence that faster growth will achieve this. In addition it ignores the valuable and quantifiable role that the unpaid work of women for their families contributes to the economy.James Heintz tackles the shortcomings of macroeconomics in relation to gender dynamics and challenges the dominant methods and measurements, suggesting new ways of framing macroeconomic concepts. He concludes by considering implications for how this new way of thinking could transform policymaking in the future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
